This is our 85 gallon community aquarium which we set up in October 2007. We bought all the fish as babies last year and they’ve grown huge. As a result, the fish tank is very overcrowded. I am diligent with water quality and try to change 60% every 2 weeks or so. I know I’ll be criticized for the number of fish in this fishtank.
Here’s the list of fish:
4 Black Bar Myleus “Tetra disco” “Blackear Pacu” (Myleus Schomburgki)
3 Common Silver Dollar (Metynnis Hypsauchen or Argenteus)
2 Mystery Silver Dollars (Metynnis Mola or Luna)
1 Flagtail (Semaprochilodus taeniurus)
1 Silver Distichodus (Distichodus affinis)
1 Chinese Hi Fin “Hifin” Banded Shark (Myxocyprinus asiaticus)
1 Earth Eater Cichlid (Geophagus jurupari)
2 Fancy Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
4 Rosy Red Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
3 Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
1 Keyhole Cichlid (Aequidens maroni)
4 Pleco (Plecostomus)
1 Royal Pleco (Panaque nigrolineatus)
1 Blue Gourami ((Trichogaster trichopterus)
9 Bumblebee Goby (Brachygobius xanthozona)
8 Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi)
3 Rasbora (Rasbora heteromorpha)
2 Albino White Cloud Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes)
2 Darter Fish
1 Bluefin Killifish? (Lucania goodei)
4 Hillstream Loach (Beaufortia kweichowensis)
1 Weather “Dojo” Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus)
2 Horseface Loach (Acantopsis choirorhynchos)
1 Neon Blue Australian Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox)
6 Kuhli Loach (Pangio kuhlii)
8 Ghost Shrimp (Palaemonetes)
5 Apple Snails (Ampullariidae)
Yes, I know this is an odd assortment of fish. It was an experiment to see if this random group could “hang” together. So far so good. This tank is unusual not only for the variety of species but the size variences which range from 1/2 inch to 9+ inches.

The most expensive part was the stand which had to be custom built ($800).
The set up all together was probably around $2000-2500. Search online for the best deals. Also, check local garage sale ads etc (Craig’s list, Penny Saver). You might find someone trying to unload something for cheap.
